Highlights from my collection of nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs (cabinet photographs, cartes de visite (cdvs), albumen prints, real photographic postcards) of men with moustaches (or mustaches, depending on which side of the pond you hail from). We travel the world gleaning bits of information whilst admiring the expertly twirled moustaches on display.

Mon 30th: British Guiana

There has been the odd rare occasion when I have bought a group photograph where someone hasn't a moustache. Here is an instance, bought because it is from British Guiana - the only photograph I have so labelled. Please ignore the man at the front and the man far right at the back, who is staring into the wrong distance anyway.

Group of soldiers. British Guiana. Large cabinet photograph.
